The Legends Of Merder

My breath of Fresh air

Derek's Pov

Seattle Grace.... The name of the place that's supposed to give me a new start.  I mused as I nursed my second scotch in the bar right across from the hospital.

Last night's memories swirling in my head again and again. The dread I had felt when I had entered my house. The scene taking place in my own bedroom. Part of me knew that me and Addie were, at this point, just dragging our marriage. But to think that it came to its end this way. By me walking in on her and my best friend going at it.

My best friend..... I am not sure he even deserves to be called that. He never liked committed relationship. Hated to see me in going into one. Little did I know that he hated my marriage so much, that he would be the one to destroy it.

My little muse about the dread, that is my life, ended when I heard a female voice.

"One more tequila,please"

"Wow, straight up. Tough day?" The bartender asked while pouring her shot.

"Tough life" she answered and gulped the shot that he gave her.

"You new here?" he asked while pouring her new shot already as she ordered him to keep them coming.

"Just moved recently for work."

I continued to watch her as she drank her fourth shot.

When I noticed her about to leave, I sent her a drink. She had piqued my interest. Her voice somehow made life seem less dreadful.

As she looked at me as she recived her drink. I took that as my que to make my way to her.

"May I sit here" I asked. She nodded with a subtle smile on her face.

"So... What's your story?" I asked.

"I don't have a story." She said with a laugh. "I am just a girl in a bar." She very smoothly said.

That made me smile and I retorted "I am just a guy in a bar."

We watched each other seductively as we drank our drinks,all the while looking into each other's eyes.

Her eyes were so beautiful and so carefree. Unlike they were a few minutes ago when she was drinking her misery away.

"So what do you say. We take this party somewhere more private?" I asked as she finished her drink. We both had had almost same amount of drinks and were drunk enough to forget our social obligations for one night. And from the progres we made so fast, very eager to do so too.

The next thing I remember waking up to something being put on my butt. I looked up to see, the last night's blonde making her way up from the sifa while wrapped in a thin duvet.

"Why don't you come back here and we start where we left off." I said eying her half naked body hungrily.

"Actually no. I am getting late for my new job and you have to go."she said hesitantly

Fair enough. I thought. As I had to start my new job myself.

" So you live here?" I asked eying up the house while simultaneously putting on my clothes.

"No, It's actually.." then she started fumbling with her words only to later say "you know we don't have to do this?" She said rhetorically.

"Do what?" I asked genuinely confused as I had was not aware of this new one night stand "protocol" or whatever.

"Share our stories, pretend that we care." She said with a smile.

"I am going upstairs and when I come back you.... won't be here." She said as I finally caught up. She was kicking me out. And surprisingly I didn't mind.

"So goodbye...." She looked at me questioningly, when I remembered we hadn't exchanged our names.

"Derek" I answered and took her hand to shake it.

"Right... Meredith" she answered back her name. I took her hand and instead of shaking it I jumped over the sofa with the help of it.

"Goodbye Derek" she said with a giggle as she made her way upstairs.

As I was on my way to my trailor I replayed last night and this morning in my brain.

Certainty a great first welcome in Seattle.

Later that day

I was talking to my new collegues and getting to know my team when certain blonde came into my view. I excused myself and followed her. When I was close enough I swooped her into the stairways mumbling something along the lines "Can I talk to you?"

"Dr. Shepherd" she said all the while looking everywhere as if to check that we are alone.

"Dr. Shepherd? " I said exasperatedly. "This morning it was Derek. Now it's Dr. Shepherd." I said looking at her accusingly.

"We should pretend it never happened" she said still looking everywhere sceptically.

"What never happened? You sleeping with me last night or you throwing me out this morning. Because both are fond memories that I would like to hold on to. " I said jokingly.

"No. There will be no memories. I am not the girl in the bar anymore and you are not the guy. This can't exist. You get that, right?" She said seriously while I looked at her with amusement.

"You took advantage of me and now you want to forget about it."

"I did not take advantage." She rhetorted.

"I was drunk, vulnerable and good-looking and you took advantage." I said back, totally liking this banter although I had much rather do some other activities that do not involve this much talking with her.

"Okay, I was the one who was drunk and you are not that good-looking" she said.

"Maybe not today. Last night. Last night, I was and you took advantage"

As she started to say something else I cut her off and said " take advantage again. Say Friday night?" I asked. She had been occupying my mind for a long time. So I certainly wanted a repeat of last night. Being with her was like forgetting the existence of every problem that existed outside our embrace.

"No." She said after a pause. "You are an attending and I am your intern." She said but my eyes on their own went to her lips as memories from yesternight came back to me.

"Stop looking at me like that." She said , again rudely interrupting my yummy thoughts.

"Like what."

"Like you have seen me naked."

That made me smile ear to ear.

Well I certainly have. And the view is spectacular might I add.

"Dr. Shepherd, this is inappropriate. Has that ever occurred to you?" She asked.

That had me frowning. Why exactly!!?? I wanted to ask. But she had already left.

Hey readers,
So here is the first chapter. I will have you know this is a totally out of curiosity book. So this might not have regular updates.

But if you like it please leave a vote.

If you wanna read a particular chapter comment the season and episode number. If you want any other characters I might do that as well.
